WIS! 618 Benbow Road 273-4023 SENATOR PROPOSES (Continued from Page 1) our federal judiciary has dem onstrated extraordinary vigor and strength in protecting so ciety as a whole and the basic rights of individuals. But there is now increasing concern about the needs of our federal judiciary ? concern about the unprecedented increase in civil and criminal litigation and other serious and wide-ranging problems. It is obvious that the courts require greater public scrutiny as well as more effec tive planning for their needs by the other branches of our gov ernment. In the belief that Congress can meet its constitutional obliga tion as a coordinate branch of the government more fully by clearly determining the needs of the federal judiciary, Senator Kennedy and I are proposing th following resolution: that Con gress respectfully request the Chief Justic of the United States to appear annually before a joint session of the Congress to report on the state of the federal ju diciary. Congressman Allard Lowenstein of New York has al ready introduced a similar reso lution in the House. Such a "State of the Judici ary" message, we believe, would enable both Congress and the public to become fully informed, from year to year, about the work and the progress of the federal courts of our nation. Such a plan would contribute materially to a better under standing among the three greet branches of our government. It is time that the problems of our judicial system be pre sented, both to Congress and to Happy Easter ? College Barber Shop (3 locations) 1923 E. Market St. 2033 E.

Lee St 878-1759 the country, at the highest leveL Not only does the work of the judiciary need explaining to the country as never before, but a new and frightening set of fig ures on the growth of litigation in the federal courts bears wit ness to the need for long-range i planning and congressional ac tion. The caseload in the federal courts has reached an all-time ' high. Continuing a trend begun j ten years ago, new filings in the courts of appeals increased again in fiscal 1969? J2.4 percent over the year before. Both the num ber of appeals docketed and the number pending have more than doubled in just seven years. Un til fiscal 1969, new filings in the federal district courts ha3 remained fairly constant for a number of years. Then last year, the combined civil and criminal cases newly docketed rose 8.4 per cent over the year before. Overall, both courts of ap peals and the district courts faced an across-the-board in crease in judicial business in fiscal 1969 of approximately 10 per cent. Pending caseloads in creased 19 percent in the courts of appeals and 7 percent in the! district courts. Myriad problems stem from these heavy caseloads. There are too few judges, too few court- 1 rooms, too few supporting per- 1 sonnel. It takes too long tr pre- 1 pare transcripts and records. De- ' lays in criminal cases directly! affect the fight against crime as! well as fair administration of justice^ and delays in civil cases ! make the cost and inconvenience of litigation virtually prohibi tive in many instances. Problems of bail, probation, judicial dis ability, the protracted case, and a hundred other subjects plague our courts. It would take an en tire issue of the Congressional Record merely to list the litany of horrors inherent in the liti gation and appeal of cases to day. I do not mean to imply that progress has not been achieved or that substantial changes are not taking place. On the contra ry, new innovations are constant ly being made, and dedicated men all over the country are striving for new and better an swers. My colleague, Senator Ty dings of Maryland, has done an outstanding job in this area in his Subcommittee on Improve ments in Judiciary Machinery. Our Supreme Court Justices and the Judicial Conference of the United States have givn much of their valuable time to the question of Judicial problems and judicial improvement*. But the point that needs to be made is that neither the prob lems nor the answers are being OBSERVE EASTER by attending CHURCH Burnett's Sanitary Cleaners 1932 E.

An annual address to the Con gress by the Chief Justice might well allow the country its first realistic look at the state of ita judiciary, pinpoint current and long-range problems, suggest so lutions as well as areas for study, and motivate the Con gress to effective action. An ad dress by the Chief Justice would tend to focus everyone's atten tion on the priority items. Happy Easter ? Elite Clothiers 1322 E.
